The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

In addition to the shock-absorbing rubber wheel, there is also a way of using thick cowhide as a pad, which can also play a certain role in shock absorption. The most important thing is that the cowhide has good ductility and is stronger for internal use.

However, the Dakang Dynasty prohibited the killing of cattle.

"Book of Rites, Quli" contains: "The princes do not kill cattle for no reason."The government office has an official document: "It is forbidden to kill cattle and horses for private purposes, and cattle are used to cultivate the land. There are slaughtered people who are killed without mercy."Therefore, there are not many restaurants and restaurants in the market that sell beef and other things publicly.

Of course, this is not to say that the consumption of beef is completely eliminated.

The official family law contains: "The cattle are injured and die, and they will be stripped privately without reporting to the government, and they will be slapped for forty".

That is to say, even if the common farm cattle were injured and died, the common people could not slaughter them in private.

This leads to the fact that there are too few cows who can really beheaded across the bright road.Beef is fine, and cowhide that can be completely preserved is even more difficult to find.You can still buy some beef tendon, but the price is not cheap.

When Gu Qi went to He Song Town before, he bought a small roll of cooked beef tendon rope and spent a penny.The slingshot was improved with a small half of it mixed with copper wire, and now there is still a length of about ten feet.

There is too little weaving at this length, and it is not bad to mix it with straw rope to make a comfortable back rope.

Gu Danian's craftsmanship of weaving straw ropes is good. Gu Qi has learned it a few times, and now he can weave some, but the speed is not good.Fortunately, there are a lot of straw ropes that Gu Danian usually weaves in the yard, with all thicknesses.

What Gu Qi has to do now is to use these straw ropes to weave a mesh surface first, using medium-thick straw ropes. The mesh does not need to be too dense, but it must be tight enough. After the mesh surface is formed, wooden sticks are used. Twisted.

The wooden stick needs to be fixed on three sides, and the three columns at each place are bundled and twisted on the upper surface.

Using the mesh surface can not only prevent the prey from falling on the way, but also can accommodate more quantity because of the certain ductility.

After doing this, Gu Danian also prepared lunch, and the three of them had lunch.Gu Danian was about to go to the construction site of the commercial market to finish the job, and before leaving, Feng Qing, who was still confused, also took a piece to help.

Gu Qi took the straw rope and continued to weave, but this time he used a thin straw rope only the thickness of the little finger, and the density of the weaving was also finer.

Each gap is controlled within three centimeters. There are some small-eye fishing nets, but they also need to be tightened so that the elasticity will be good enough. Gu Qiyi woven a total of four layers. The thick and thick ropes are crossed and fixed at the bottom.

After doing this, Gu Qi took out the pallet that had already been cracked a little, and divided the neatly into two.Extend the length of the pallet, and then fix the prepared net bag in the middle, straighten it and fix it with thick wooden stakes on the four sides.

Finally, I took a few pieces of wood, cut them into squares, and cut them into spherical shapes with a knife.Polished and smooth, one by one stuck to the bottom of the pallet. Compared with the cylinder, the sphere is more flexible and less likely to break.

After everything was assembled, Gu Qi threw the two small stone benches in the yard on the new pallet and tried it briefly, and the effect was not bad.

......

Seeing that it was still early, Gu Qi dragged the newly made pallet, as usual, took the axe, shovel, dagger, rope, and slingshot into the mountain.

I just caught two wild boars the day before yesterday. This time, when I entered the mountain, Gu Qi was not in a hurry to get the harvest immediately. The main thing was to continue to look for the traces of the wild boars, and then draw a rough area based on these traces, so as to dig new traps.

There are almost no traces of human activities in the inner periphery of Nanshan.

As long as there is enough time, the traps can be dug according to the animal's activity habits. If one is not enough, it will be a series of traps. I am not afraid that these little cuties who are not deep in the world will not be caught.

The entire Nanshan Mountain is connected to the mountains behind it all the way to the southwest, and it is continuous. Except for Xiaoqi Village and two or three nearby villages, there are few villages further south. In addition, Yunzhou Prefecture has always had good weather and abundant water sources. Therefore, the natural ecological system in the depths of Nanshan is very complete, and there are many large and small animals.

Although Gu Qi is currently engaged in hunting, he also knows that nothing can be done, so he will leave a certain amount of leeway when digging traps, try to maintain the balance of the ecological chain, and will not catch a group of extinct households.

In addition to wild boars and wild goats, among the medium and large animals on Nanshan Mountain, there are also traces of activity of bears, wolves, foxes, and muntjacs.However, at present, Gu Qizhi has discovered a small amount of traces of life of these animals, and has not really encountered them. Obviously, the number is not too many.

Especially wolves and foxes, wolves are fierce, and foxes are cunning. These two animals are more flexible and vigilant than other animals, and even if they set traps, they will not be easily fooled.

On the other hand, there is still hope that Muntja will catch a few.

Muntjak belongs to the deer family, but Muntjak is smaller than deer, and has a very timid temperament. As long as there are some small noises, there will be a strong reaction, and they prefer to go to the lush mountains and forests.

Suede and deer antler are the same Chinese medicine, but the medicinal effects of the two are different, and the price of suede is not as high as that of deer antler.

When the market price of a whole wild deer is good, it can sell for two or three hundred taels of silver.And a complete muntjac including suede is worth 300 taels of silver.

However, the meat of the suede is very delicious, and the skin of the suede is thick and tight with fine scorpions, which is smooth and warm after the tanning is good. It is very durable for making clothes or shoe upper gloves in winter.

Half of the major traps that Gu Qi dug today were set up for the living habits of the muntjac.After all, although the deer is not as rare and valuable as the wild mountain deer, compared to the ordinary wild mountain boars and goats, it can still hold more than ten heads.

After digging until it was too late, Gu Qi hit a litter of rabbits and checked the traps he had set up before.

Seeing that no wild boar was hit again, there was a badger who made a mistake.Badger meat is not very tasty, but badger oil is a good medicine for treating scalds, scabies, and frostbite. If you want to come to the town pharmacy, it should be collected, and they will be thrown into the pallet together.

......

When Gu Qi returned home, Gu Danian was putting dinner on the table.Just looking at the dishes on the table with flowers, reds, willows and greens, Gu Qi knew that these dishes were definitely not made by Gu Danian.Gu Danian's cooking level is basically at a level where he can cook and eat.

Sure enough, when Gu Qi looked up, he saw Fengqing walking out of the kitchen with the last two dishes in a skirt (apron).

"Aqi, try it. It's the first time I made it, and I don't know if it's good or not." When Gu Qi cleaned his hands, Feng Qing had already set up the bowls and chopsticks and greeted.

"First time?"

Gu Qi looked numb as he looked at the few dishes on the table that were about to be carved with a dragon head and a phoenix tail.

Feng Qing smiled lightly: "I don't remember what happened in the past. Today is the first time."

"I didn't expect that A Feng, a scholar, could be so good at cooking." Gu Danian took a sip first and couldn't help but admire.

Feng Qing lowered her eyes shyly: "Uncle likes to eat."

"..." Gu Danian.

Who is your uncle!

Why do I suddenly feel that the food in my mouth is not fragrant?
